Does anyone know of a UK source for small quantities (10 litres or so)
of Alodine 1001 and 1201?

in australia we can buy the stuff in the local pilot shop.
have you tried a drive to the nearest big GA airfield?
one with maintenance facilities should do it.

I would but I'm probably further from a GA airfield than most Aussies!
Hence mail order would be preferred!

All I've located so far is Alocrom 1200 (supposed to be equivalent to
1201) at 140 quid for 10 litres.



In the States, I have bought the Alodine powder, that you mix with
water, from a plating shop. It is a hell of a lot cheaper than buting it
in quart bottles, too.
